Thinking of trying to setup a Patreon. Just trying to think what to offer as milestones, etc. Plus what to write in the first place – ideas?

The comic of course would still be free, the regular weekly updates. I would offer BONUS material/content. Like I would do an extra update for every X amount of dollars each month, up to 4 extras for twice a week. FOR EXAMPLE – for $300 a month, 2 extra updates on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. For $600 4 extra updates for each Tuesday. If X amount was donated there would be no ads on the site for that month. Etc. Etc. Since I still have a regular job, I can’t do too much for extra updates.

Individual rewards would probably be like if you donate $10 a month, I’ll do a sketch for you. For those that donate X amount, I’d show the sketch files and storyboards. Maybe first dibs on extra art viewing or exclusive art stuff.

I know I’m dependable as I have always had something up for y’all on Fridays and I have no further intentions of hiatuses.

The PICC line is in.
So far I’m doing ok but I’m limiting my stress and trying to stay relaxed to avoid complications. So what does that mean? Expect late comics and guest comics/art in place of the regular comic. I will try and get the comics done, but I can make no promises. I do promise that regardless, there WILL be something up each Friday.

If you’d like to help me out by producing a guest comic/art, please let me know. I appreciate all the help I can in this and will make it up to those that help me.

Hopefully I will have a chance to throw together a holiday wallpaper for y’all. I’ve done it every year and would hate to see myself not do it this year.

Oh yea and the Ginpu t-shirt design I showed off some time ago is finally a reality. ^^ When I have more details I will let you know. But here’s pics of the prototype I was sent. (just needed a bigger size for me. XD)

So I had this idea. I want to do some free art, BUT how do I decide who to give it to. Then a friend suggested a raffle. This way everyone can participate, regardless of skill. So, here’s how it’s going to work. ^^

This contest will be raffle/lottery style. That means each entry gets a number. After the end date a random number will be chosen via random number generator at random.org and the winner gets a free flat color digital waist up drawing of their own character, or a character owned by me. (I will not draw any characters owned by other people or corporations without their explicit written permission.)

What do you need to do?
Pimp Ginpu.
Pimp Ginpu on Twitter, Tumblr, G+, deviantART or FurAffinity.

There will be 5 entry pools. You can enter into each one if you so desire.

Tumblr: Follow Ginpu and like and reblog the post (on Tumblr) regarding this contest.

G+: Add Ginpu to your circles, like and share the post (on G+) regarding this contest.

deviantART: Watch Ginpu and post AT LEAST a link to this contest. Comment on the journal with a link to your journal to show us you’ve posted it.

FurAffinity: Watch Ginpu and post AT LEAST a link to this contest. Comment on the journal with a link to your journal to show us you’ve posted it.

When we receive notification that you’ve tweeted/reposted/reblogged/shared the contest, we will add your name to the list and a number next to it, for each site you’ve pimped us on.

Now the fine print:

You must reblog/share/retweet/repost the contest to be entered in the lottery as described above. If you do not let us know you’ve pimped us we won’t know and you won’t be entered in the lottery.

There will be 5 separate lotteries. 1 on deviantART, 1 on FurAffinity, 1 on Twitter, 1 on Tumblr, and 1 on G+. You can enter each lottery, but you can only win once. Reblogging/reposting/retweeting/sharing more than once on any site is appreciated greatly, but it does not increase your chances of winning on that site. 1 entry per site per person.

There will be 5 total prizes. 1 for each winner from each social media site listed above. The prize is a digital pin-up (that’s from the waist up) drawing of your own character or a character from the Ginpu comic series, drawn by Michelle aka Ginpu. Michelle will not draw any copyrighted characters without the owner’s explicit written permission. It is not the responsibility of Ginpu Studios/Michelle to get this permission for you. The subject matter of the drawing will be decided by Michelle. All drawings will be rated PG.

Winners for each prize will be chosen randomly via the random number generator at random.org.

Entries will be accepted until November 25, 2012 at 23:59EST. Winners will be announced with the Friday update on November 30, 2012. Winners will be contacted to discuss character choice for artwork. While Michelle will try to get these drawings done quickly, please expect up to an 8 week turnaround time. Life can get in the way of good intentions.

No purchase necessary. Purchasing swag doesn’t increase your chances of winning though we thank you for your support.
